He's amazing!! I would have liked for him to be a member of the Horde but is he a Fighting Foe Man??

I could see him as a Fighting Foe Man. Since (as far as I can tell) there was nothing at all about the FFM--no literature, drarwings, concepts, nuttin--they can pretty much do whatever they want. I put my vote in for one of those guys.
And since Vikor is my favorite character/figure, I'll definitely be happy to have this guy. Looking forward to it!

So it's a dragon-man. Better than a full-on dragon. I've never been a fan of dragons in motu at all...drags it way too far 'medieval earth' territory. But this guy looks KILLER. Great use of parts, old and new, cool weapons and a really great paint-job. The colours really pop. Nice creation!

Almost reminds me of a new, updated Dragoon. Maybe he will even be in the bio!

I would say it depends on your definition of "a lot of new tooling." He's complete parts reuse from the waist down; looks like he has new armor (reminiscent of He-Man's Battle Armor) probably over a standard torso; reused shoulders/biceps/forearms; reused Whiplash tail; making the gauntlets, hands, armor, head, weapons, and wings new. And I can't be the only person that's guessing those wings could be used for Granamyr, too.

Yeah I actually had that Galaxy Warriors figure in my collection when I was a kid, and immediately thought of him the moment I saw that picture of Draego Man! Now I have to get that figure based on that connecton alone, as Ive been wanting something along those lines!

This needs to be pushed to the front of questions that Mattel needs to answer. If only for a future 200x King Hsss variant.

It's no more likely that a 2002-era Hiss would have reversed shoulders than any other figure. The difficulty in swapping them for the original Hiss for a new production run is that it takes up a development slot... which a new figure would already be doing.

I would actually place bets that a 2002-era King Hiss would actually have a better chance at having corrected shoulders because Toyguru would feel horrible if two different King Hiss figures had the same issue (not that he doesn't feel bad every time there's an issue like that).

I could see him as a Fighting Foe Man. Since (as far as I can tell) there was nothing at all about the FFM--no literature, drarwings, concepts, nuttin--they can pretty much do whatever they want. I put my vote in for one of those guys.

Does seem likely that the four non-contest New Figures (i.e., Draego, Geoff Johns and the two Mattel in-house ones) will be the FFM, don' it?
